Besides, there is a world of a difference between the intrusive way SF behaves on a user's PC without his consent and the way DT4 or Alcohol behave. AND so far, I haven't seen anyone complaining about DT or Alcohol affecting their normal OS operation like SF does.
Besides, my workstation has both Ultra SCSI Hard Drives and CD Drives (Real ones) and when I bought X3-Reunion, no indication on the box coud be found stating that the game would be unplayable with those. It took me 3 weeks of pingpong between Egosoft and SF support to realize that there was nothing to do about it. Most incredibly, 90% of both companies' efforts were directed towards finding out wether or not I had purchased the game
In addition to that, I bought an external USB 2.0 IDE DVD/RW to be able to play the game. Guess what... the game wouldn't run from that drive either.
I returned the game to the store two days ago
Needless to say, I'm done with SF protected games (at least while SF
modus operandi remains like it currently is)
